Chapter 533: Chapter 524: Union and Separation

The next day, the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, was also Yu'er's first birthday. Now that the Emperor was seriously ill, The Chus did not dare to hold a large celebration and only invited a few relatives, including The Xies, The Jiangs, The Yangs, and the closely related Princess Rui.

Today the men were at court, so only women and children came. There weren't many guests, so they entertained them in the Bamboo Pavilion.

Early in the morning, Chen Afu started dressing up Yu'er. The little girl wore a bright red brocade jacket with a long skirt, with a gold double swallow disk button. Two small pigtails were combed atop her head, making her as pretty as a doll from a New Year picture.

As soon as she finished dressing her, Chu Hanyan put on a red dragonfly bracelet she had handmade for Yu'er. This was her birthday gift for Yu'er. She said, "When sister learns how to embroider, she will make an even more beautiful handkerchief for you."
